DeepSeek Harness中ask_user_question的超时保护:丢失或未回答的问题将解析为ASK_TIMEOUT,而不是让回合永远挂起。

Project Overview项目介绍

dsh-ask-guard is a native plugin built exclusively for DeepSeek Harness, designed to fix a known issue where the ask_user_question tool can hang indefinitely if a user question never gets answered. The issue occurs when the browser tab is backgrounded, the laptop goes to sleep, or the connection drops half way through, which causes the question frame to be lost without a heartbeat to alert the client. Without this fix, the hang can last for six or more hours and can only be recovered by manually stopping the turn. This plugin adds a configurable cooperative timeout to every ask_user_question dispatch to prevent the hang.

The plugin works by wrapping the tool execution flow to add the timeout before dispatching the ask_user_question call. If the timeout triggers before the user answers, the plugin triggers an abort handler that broadcasts a question cancellation event to clean up any stuck composer elements. The timeout works cooperatively with DSH’s built-in timeout system to ensure clean termination of the stuck request. It then returns a structured error result with the code ASK_TIMEOUT, so the agent can end the turn gracefully instead of blocking forever. All other tools pass through the wrapper unchanged, so no other functionality is impacted by this plugin.

Installing the plugin is straightforward via the DSH command line interface. To install the published version, run dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-ask-guard then restart the dsh web service. If you want to install directly from the source code on GitHub, you can run dsh plugin --profile web add github:Q1hangL/dsh-ask-guard instead. The default timeout is 300000 milliseconds (5 minutes), but you can adjust it by adding a config entry to your profile's cordis.patch.yml file. The plugin is released under the open source MIT license, and you can run tests locally after pulling the repository with npm install followed by node --test.

dsh-ask-guard是专门为DeepSeek Harness开发的原生插件,用于解决ask_user_question工具调用后可能出现的线程永久挂起问题。当页面转入后台、设备进入休眠或连接半断开时,问题推送帧丢失,原客户端无心跳检测会导致工具永久等待,这个插件通过添加超时防护机制解决了该问题。它通过包装工具执行流程,为每次ask_user_question调用添加可配置的协作式超时截止。

这个插件的工作原理是拦截工具调用请求,超时触发后会主动广播问题已取消的通知,清理卡住的请求上下文,然后返回结构化的ASK_TIMEOUT错误结果,让代理可以正常结束当前轮次,不会阻塞后续流程。默认超时时间设置为5分钟,用户也可以根据自身使用需求,在配置文件中修改超时参数,适配不同的对话场景和提问长度需求。

安装该插件十分简单,只需要通过DSH的CLI执行一条命令即可完成,安装后重启DSH网页端服务就能生效。插件使用MIT许可证开源,托管在GitHub上,用户也可以通过指定GitHub仓库地址的方式从源码安装。项目提供了测试命令,用户可以在本地拉取代码后运行测试验证功能。

dsh-ask-guard

Timeout guard for ask_user_question in DeepSeek Harness: a lost or unanswered question resolves as a structured ASK_TIMEOUT instead of hanging the turn forever.

The problem

The question card is delivered to the browser over a single push on the mux WebSocket. When the page is backgrounded, the laptop sleeps, or the connection dies half-open, the frame is lost, the client never notices (no heartbeat), and the tool waits forever — observed hangs of 6+ hours, recoverable only by pressing Stop. Upstream report: deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness#1554.

What this plugin does

It registers a tools/execute wrapper that arms a cooperative deadline on every ask_user_question dispatch (the same mechanism as the official dsh-tool-call-timeout-policy, which only enforces budgets declared by tool plugins — ask_user_question declares none).

  • When the deadline wins, the waiting provider's abort handler fires: the web provider broadcasts question/resolved cancelled, so the stuck composer (if any) is cleaned up.
  • The wrapper then replaces the normalized abort with a structured error result (code: ASK_TIMEOUT, name: AskTimeoutError) with a model-facing message, so the agent can end the turn gracefully instead of blocking.
  • All other tools pass through untouched.

The timeout is cooperative (@deepseek-ai/dsh-timeout notifies via exec.signal; the web user-questions provider honors the signal, so it terminates for real).

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-ask-guard

Restart dsh web. The plugin is a dsh.bundle package, so its patch row is added to the profile composition automatically on reconcile.

Install from a git checkout instead:

dsh plugin --profile web add github:Q1hangL/dsh-ask-guard

Config

Field Default Meaning
timeoutMs 300000 Deadline for one ask_user_question call (ms).

Tune it in the profile's cordis.patch.yml:

- id: ask-guard
  config:
    timeoutMs: 600000

Recovery note

A page refresh (F5) re-syncs pending questions — the host replays unanswered questions to a reconnecting client. With this plugin, even without a refresh the turn no longer hangs forever.

Test

npm install
node --test
